Spurgeon: Beloved, if you remember the contrast, it will, I hope, inflame you with gratitude. There was another cup once set to our place at the table, and of it we should have been compelled to drink, had it not been for the interposition of the Surety of the covenant. It was that deep and direful cup of the Lord’s wrath, into which he wringeth out the wormwood and the gall, till its bitterness is beyond degree. Of that black cup you and I ought to have been made to drink forever and ever. We could never have emptied it, but must eternally have been filled with the horror and amazement which are its dregs. (Edited excerpts from) “The Overflowing Cup” by CH Spurgeon, 1869 “My cup runneth over.” Psalm 23:5
